New Year's Day is healthy
First and foremost, moisturizing is key. The dry air in winter makes it easy for the skin to lose moisture, which can lead to dry and flaky skin. Therefore, moisturizing has become the primary task of preventing and treating dryness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that moisturizing is not only about applying on the surface, but also about conditioning from the inside. We can choose moisturizing products that suit us, such as natural plant essences, aloe vera gel, etc., supplemented by Chinese herbal medicine soaking water to help the skin hydrate and moisturize. In addition, maintaining indoor air circulation and avoiding excessive use of heating is also an important part of moisturizing.
Secondly, regulate internal cold. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cold weather can easily make the human body too cold, which in turn leads to dryness. Therefore, regulating internal cold is another important way to improve the problem of dryness. In terms of diet, we can choose some warm foods, such as ginger, red dates, yams, etc., to regulate internal cold. In addition, moderate exercise is also an effective way to regulate internal cold, by increasing the body's calorie consumption, helping the body to improve its own temperature regulation ability, and alleviate the problem of dryness.
Again, nourish with Chinese herbs. Traditional Chinese medicine has a good nourishing effect and can help improve the problem of dry and peeling. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, medicinal herbs such as astragalus, lily, and sand cucumber are widely used to nourish the skin. We can choose some Chinese herbal medicines, such as Angelica dahurica, Angelica sinensis, Phellodendron chinensis, etc., mix it with an appropriate amount of honey, evenly apply it to the dry and peeling parts, and use it 2-3 times a week, which can significantly improve the drying condition.
Finally, maintain a reasonable routine. In winter, when the weather is cold, people tend to reduce outdoor activities to keep warm, and they also tend to feel tired and sleepy. However, unreasonable work and rest times can also easily lead to ** problems. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a reasonable schedule to improve the drying problem. Traditional Chinese medicine often says: "Go to bed early and wake up early is good health", and a reasonable sleep time can help the body to regulate and repair. In addition, a moderate amount of outdoor exercise can also help promote blood circulation and improve metabolic function, thereby improving the problem of dry peeling.
To sum up, dry peeling in winter** is a common problem, but it can be effectively improved with a few simple methods. If we do a good job of moisturizing, regulating internal cold, nourishing with traditional Chinese medicine, and maintaining a reasonable work and rest, we will be able to stay away from dryness and maintain a healthy and smooth state.
